Supernatural, the sixth season

Margie: Edna, I must say that I surely enjoyed Supernatural's premiere even if it has moved to Friday night. I always have a Friday night date but I let everybody know that I belong to my Jensen on Friday.

Did you like the show, sister? I heard you mumbling to yourself a lot.

Edna: It's because I was worried and confused. You know that Mr. Kripke isn't in charge of things any more so I was worried about how Ms. Gamble would take care of the show. She loves the boys, so I think my worry was for nothing.

But I'm confused because I don't know if I should trust their grandfather or not. You can't always trust family, and maybe especially if they've been raised from the dead.

 

Margie: Well, I don't know about it being a gamble but the ratings are good. I was sorry to see Dean wearing a shirt the whole time too.

I know I have family I can't trust, Edna, but you best stay dead when you die or I'll fill you full of salt! 

The CW hates us

Margie: Listen up, dingbat, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Supernatural returns tonight on the CW and I've been waiting for those boys. They took a hiatal or some such and this is a new episode.

You best keep your yap shut tonight or I'll duct tape your big mouth. You got that?

Edna: Margie, for the last time, those voices you hear when you're watching TV aren't me. They're the radio signals you pick up on your fillings. Besides, you're the one who chatters on all through TV episodes, it's like watching with a monkey.

You know, it's about gol-durn time that show is back on the air. I'm going to write a letter to Congress and get them to ban hiatuses. I'm a patient woman, but even I have my limits.

Margie: I don't have any fillings, nutcase. Go take your pills.

You go ahead and write Congress. It's not likely that they're going to help you since they only help themselves to our money. Speaking of money, I'd sure pay that pretty Jensen to come here to visit me. Lordy, it's cold shower time.

Edna: Folks, there's nothing worse than an over-the-hill hussy, and that's the truth.

Carry On My Wayward Son

Margie: Edna, I must say the season 4 premiere of Supernatural was everything I could have wanted. My Dean got out of Hell and his sweet voice and pretty face were intact.

There sure was something strange about Sam though. That boy was trying to act like Dean if you ask me. I'm keeping a close eye on him.

Edna: I think you're right, Margie. That Sam went through some changes while Dean was in Hell, no two ways about it. And he's become awfully secretive, hasn't he?

But Margie, I have to say this: sometimes this show makes me blush. Young ladies in their unmentionables, smutty language, young men flashing their chests...it's enough to make a lady weep.

Margie: Yes, Sam is secretive and he's hooked up with that Ruby. I don't trust her a bit.

Edna, you are so right about those things. You surely do blush and I smile all the way through the show. Ahem. Edna, do you think that man/angel really came from God?

Edna: You're a smiling hussy, Margie. I don't know where that angel came from, but when was the last time you saw an angel with black wings? I hope Dean is careful and uses his head before he decides whether or not to trust him.

I also hope that Mr. Kripke knows what he's doing. I think this is going to be an interesting season.

Margie: I agree with that, Edna. Did you hear something? That must be the pizza delivery boy. You wait right there, Edna.

Edna: Wait Margie, that's not Dean and Bobby out there, it really is the pizza delivery boy. Don't you dare answer the door in your bloomers! Oh Lord, I think we're going to have to find a new pizza place.

Supernatural returns tonight!

Edna: Oh my stars and garters, Margie, I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Do you know what tonight is?

Margie: Unlike you, Edna, I know what every night is. Tonight is when I spend time with my sweet voiced young man. I'm going to have to calm myself down or I may fly right out the roof.

Edna: Well, you're sharing Mr. Sweet Voice tonight with me and several million other people, you know. I can't wait to watch the season premiere, I can't believe it's finally here. I wonder how they're going to get poor Dean out of H-E-double-hockey-sticks?

Did you remember to go to the store and get us some snacks?

Margie: Edna, I am not going to watch some old hockey game! I'm watching Supernatural.

Snacks? Yes, I got brownies for me and out of date cakes for you. You can hush while the show is on too and don't make those crazy sounds.

Edna: Date cakes? You know perfectly well that the only dates I enjoy are the ones that involve dinner and dancing. Just for that, I'm sending Cousin T out to the Krispy Kreme, and we're not getting any of them for you. How do you like them apples?

As for making noise during the show, don't you worry. I'll be too wide-eyed to make any sounds. You just make sure you don't talk through the whole show like you usually do. I want to pay attention and see if Sam and Bobby can save Dean. I just love that Bobby, don't you?

Margie: Edna, did you always aspire to be a moron? You made it. Krispy Kreme doesn't have dates and Cousin T won't mistreat me.

Bobby is a fine man but I just want Dean. And, I'm not talking to you during the show anyway. I'm talking to somebody else. Isn't it your bedtime?

Edna: As soon Dean makes it out of you-know-where, I'm sending him your way with some rock salt and holy water, you demon.

Margie: Kiss my you-know-what, Edna.

Supernatural Season 3 DVD

Margie: Edna, I've been thinking and I owe you an apology. You have been a good sister. I know you love me but you don't like showing your feelings a lot. Christmas is coming and I don't want us to be at odds. Let's be friends.

You're a good person, Edna. I could just write forever about your good qualities.

Edna: Margie, I truly hope that you're not trying to butter me up so I'll buy you one of those Supernatural Season 3 boxed DVD sets that comes out today. Because you are out of your cotton-pickin' mind if you think that.

Margie: Edna, I'm as sincere as I can be. You don't have to buy me anything. I was just trying to be a nicer person. I should be grateful to have a good sister and I am.

Would you like for me to make some of those nice brownies you love so?

Edna: Margie you stop that right now, you're starting to freak me out, as the hipsters say today. It's like you've become a pod person, or maybe you've been possessed. That's it, isn't it?

Well, I'll be buying my DVD set at the store today. If you've really turned a new leaf and become a more loving sister, you'll show that love by keeping your grubby paws off my copy.

Margie: Edna, I tried being nice. If you don't buy me a copy of my own, you selfish hoodlum, I'll watch yours until there's no Jensen left to see on it.

You got that, Edna?

Edna: A-ha! There you have it folks, I knew she was faking it! Margie, you can go buy your own copy, you deceitful hag. And while you're at it, you'd better leave the acting to the professionals.

Exclusive Interview: Lauren Cohan

We interrupt Margie and Edna's regularly scheduled foolishness to bring you the following special presentation.

Jane and Beth, as well as Margie and Edna, are huge fans of Supernatural on the CW. Therefore, we are honored to present this exclusive interview with Lauren Cohan (Bela Talbot) who was fantastic in Supernatural's third season.

Whether you loved Bela or hated her, Lauren is a beautiful, talented actress who played the role of Bela to perfection. We thank Lauren for taking the time to answer our questions and we wish her much continued success.


1. When did you realize you wanted to be an actress? Are there any other actors in your family?

This is a funny one to answer because I don’t recall ever deciding to pursue a career in acting. I did theatre originally because I liked creating; going to school for it then moving to London felt like a natural progression. I’ve had times where I stop and think about this whole crazy playground, but as long as it continues to be fun and fulfilling, I’ll continue to not question it.

2. From the moment Bela made her first appearance on Supernatural there was a definite chemistry between her and Dean. Was this as apparent to you and Jensen Ackles as it was to many viewers?

There was a funny recognition on set when Jensen and I had the shoot out at Bela’s apartment where he, myself and the crew laughed at the tension of the scene and the fun chemistry between Dean and Bela. It was a great start to those two characters’ relationship.

3.Were you surprised by some of the negative reactions fans had to Bela? Do you think some of that was caused by their perception that you might be a love interest for Dean?

I can’t say I was surprised. Learning what I had about the fandom of the show and the fact that there weren’t many female regulars before Katie (Cassidy) and I, it made sense that fans would be protective of Sam and Dean. It's like anything, throw something new in the mix and people get to debate and ascertain their viewpoints.

4. Have you heard about the Bela Talbot movement started by some of your fans to get Bela brought back to Supernatural? Would you return if asked?

I hadn’t until now, that’s very flattering! Of course I’d return if the opportunity arose, I had a great time being Bela.

5. You are an extraordinary actress and your portrayal of Bela is fascinating. Was Bela difficult to play? What did you most enjoy about the role?

Thank you so much. I’d say the most enticing part of Bela was being mischievous; it was also the most challenging. It's hard to be mean… it's fun to be bad.

6. I saw a lot of possibilities for Bela had she remained on the show. Did you ever think about the directions she could have taken? What would you have liked to have seen her do?

See a big bag of money and not take it.

7. How far ahead of time were you aware of Bela's backstory; that is, when did you find out about the demon deal, and what she'd endured as a child? Did it change how you felt about Bela?

I thought her backstory made for a chilling and believable layer to Bela’s character. Despite reading the script, the finished episode still seemed so new and revealing. I really enjoyed it.

8. What would be your dream role?

There are so many parts I am excited to play as my career progresses. The kooky social outsider, the non-conformist, the best friend, Juliet, Cordelia and, definitely one day, the action heroine.

9. What do you like to do in your spare time?

See my family, that is the most important. Otherwise, anything that involves bicycles, peaceful venues or the big wide open.

Do you have anything you would like to add?

I’d like to thank everyone for taking such an interest, in me and in the show. It’s been great to witness and be involved in these passionate debates over the last year. And for those of you that I’ve received mail from or met at a convention, thank you for all your kind words and encouragement!

You can see me in the first episode of the CW’s Valentine which should air in September.
